| Do speaker cables really matter? I agree with Carl109 - simply renewing the electrical contact could have made the difference, so try your Kimbers again. | |
| Album Storage Anyone know of a good software program for cataloging records on a Mac? | |
| Bellari Hum I have been using one for six months now with no problems, and it sounds great. Nice to know there is a fix if there is a problem, though! | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Yes, I read that. Very interesting. That is in large part what piqued my interest. For me, the jury will still be out until I have heard such a system, though. As I said, I am unfortunately not able to do that in my own set-up, currently and for t... | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Raul, that thread is fascinating - I just read through the entire thing, including a couple of the external links. I will admit that I have never heard such a system as yours and some of the others described. None of my friends/family that are aud... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I would vote for the Rega players, I chose the Apollo myself, but the Saturn is even better. | |
| how much would you say a good set up cost Like alot of folks here, I would say you don't have to spend anywhere near 30-35K to put a great sounding system together. If you buy smartly, it can easily be done for under 10K. My brother put together a system that only cost him about 4K, I think. | |
| Preamp recommendations up to $2000 The PrimaLuna amps sound great, and are very user-friendly, if you want to stick to the tubes. | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Jim, I think I would have to hear what you were talking about exactly, particularly since I am not sure how you are defining your term "tonal balance" in this context. I don't know what you listened to at his store, and I have not heard the Legacy... | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Ah, I see. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I am indeed very glad to be hear - here - and learning. | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Nice post, Elinor. I would only disagree with the very end of it. Our ability to hear is not stilted by our work, nor is our perspective limited to our chair at work. In fact, it is much easier to hear in a home listening environment, since there ... | |
| Our home system: How good it is? The very short answer to your question would be that sitting in different spots on stage, or even in the hall, will of course give you a different perspective of the ensemble's balance, and we adjust to that accordingly. However, what you are spea... | |
| Our home system: How good it is? This is a great thread - thanks very much Raul. I have learned a great deal on this site, and will continue to seek more knowledge always - it is a never ending quest. I would heartily agree that far too many "audiophiles" get way too caught up in... | |
| Most Important? I would personally argue that speakers are the most important (if you don't like your speakers, you won't like anything you are hearing), followed very closely by analog source. After that, amplification, then digital source. Everything else, thou... | |
| Rega Planet or Apollo CD Player The Rega players are all fantastic - you will not find anything remotely close to them in their price range. I love my Apollo, so I would recommend it highly. |
